Indian captain Rahul Dravid won the toss and elected
to field first in the fourth and final one-day cricket international against
Sri Lanka here today. 
Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, earlier ruled out because
of back problem, India brought in paceman S. Sreesanth in the place for Munaf
Patel, who had a stiff back this morning. Anil Kumble and Irfan Pathan
are the other players to miss out on berths in the final XI. Opener Robin Uthappa
has been included to play this game.
Sri Lanka have made two changes. Opener Upul Tharanga has been
replaced with Chamara Silva while Kulasekara has made way for Lasith Malinga.
Heavy dew on the outfield delayed the start of the play today. After an inspection
at 9.20 am, the umpires decided to start the game at 10 am.
